I recently had lunch with CEO Porsche n/a and he told me the delivery will be at West Palm Beach on the day after Valentine's Day. Presumably Sebring will be break-in track... Can't wait.

My spec is white with black wheels along with sport seats. I love the contrast of the black carbon fiber and white. The premium for white paint is crazy. Also went with nav, chrono, red deviated stitching, GT2RS red/black interior, $258k sticker. A used GT2 997 is a much better value... Trading in my 03 GT2 and Ferrari 575M. I'll miss 'em.

As for the GT2 RS, the idea of having to make time to get to a track (or airstrip?) that I don't care to drive in order to spend a day or two not being allowed to drive the GT2 RS at full bore, well, I'm hoping they've got something very well planned for that event. And it's January, so if they expect customers to magically set aside time and logistics in February, they better call their dates immediately or expect a lot of disappointed customers buying the most expensive car they've had on offer in the US since the Carrera GT. They might start by supporting and fully informing their dealer network with a coordinated operation.

Good luck keeping it out of the wall at walls-everywhere PBIR. You can probably hit 170 on the back straight before the very tight 45MPH right hander.. Good for bedding in pads..
1 week earlier at www.48hoursatsebring.com would have been a wholehelluva lot better though!

For those not familiar with PBIR, it is doen the street from Orbit.
So you can receive it, prepare it at orbit and store it in their warehouse for your winter outings and ship it back to your corner of the country after the winter.
I also have plenty of alarmed heated and A/C warehouse space available for free with free brake in service.
Just sayin'..

I wonder who will instruct the newbies around the 17 turns at Sebring? Maybe Pat Long will show up!

The front straight is a bit bumpy, but not too bad, T1 is also bumpy.
T17 on the other hand is real bad.
I look forward to go out again in practice session with CUP cars. Pretty cool to see them bounce off the track on slicks while we pass on the inside on R compound. Only till they adjust springs and figure out the track ;-)

The front and back straights are concrete runways from the 1940's.....so is turn 17 that connects the back to the front straight....some very nasty bumps around the 1st bridge at T17...I've had my front end and entire car go airborn. Turn 1 is bumpy at track out right before the concrete goes to asphalt.
